White House Statement on Uday and Qusay Hussein
Statement by the Press Secretary

We were pleased to learn from the Department of Defense of today's
action against Uday and Qusay Hussein. Over the period of many years,
these two individuals were responsible for countless atrocities
committed against the Iraqi people and they can no longer cast a shadow
of hate on Iraq. U.S. military forces and our intelligence community,
working with an Iraqi citizen, deserve credit for today's successful
action. While there is still much work to do in Iraq, the Iraqi people
can see progress each day toward a better and more prosperous future
for their country.
